Improv Theatre Resources

Taking an improv theatre class in your local community will give you skills that will enrich your professional and personal experiences, because the skills of improv theatre are the same as the skills of medical improvisation. Explore your local theatres, improv groups, and drama schools for upcoming classes. If you are able to travel, professional improv groups such as Second City,iO, and the Annoyance Theatre offer intensive/immersive courses throughout the year, primarily in summer, and mostly in Chicago.
